GOLDEN LEAGUE A3
GOLDEN LEAGUE A3 started on May 19th, 2022, for 20th anniversary model cabinets only. Please see the A20 page for more information.
New to GOLDEN LEAGUE A3 is the introduction of a scoring system, LEAGUE SCORE, which is determined by the combination of both EX Score and normal scoring (divided by 1000 and rounded down to the last integer; quadrupled when played on NONSTOP or Class courses). A fourth cutoff border, Advanced Border, is added, whereas if their total LEAGUE SCORE is achieved during the period, the players will receive rewards, with SILVER CLASS or better being eligible for the bonus: GOLD CLASS members will unlock the newest song instantly which can be played even before the Period ends, while players with SILVER CLASS able to access GOLD CLASS exclusive songs once the period ends.
Rewards are given at the end of each Period. At the end of each period, a song from A20 PLUS's GOLDEN LEAGUE is rotated out from BRONZE CLASS and made available by default to all players, regardless of cabinet model. The latest GOLDEN LEAGUE song will first appear in GOLD CLASS before being relegated to SILVER CLASS after two periods, followed by BRONZE CLASS after four periods, after which it is finally unlocked by default four periods later.
Older GOLDEN LEAGUE songs previously rotated out of the BRONZE CLASS were given new CHALLENGE charts exclusive to GOLD CLASS members and in the 20th anniversary models.
The list of periods and its songs are as follows (the Advanced Border cutoff score indicated in parenthesis):
| Period | Duration | GOLD CLASS | Added CHALLENGE charts | Songs relegated to SILVER CLASS | Songs relegated to BRONZE CLASS | Songs unlocked | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | May 19th to June 15th, 2022 | STAY GOLD (500000 points) |
Avenger | DDR TAGMIX -LAST DanceR- (175000 points) |
Step This Way | Lightspeed | 9th Dan (九段) course added (available for GOLD CLASS members). |
